I have often thought about putting a "no holds barred" forum on MAB...perhaps in the lounge.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing, a bad thing, or a necessary thing. Sometimes the boys just need to fight.

Thoughts?

I'm not sold on the need for something like this, but with that said, if the community wants one forum to let all hell break loose, I would do it.

personally no, my comment was a joke and nothing more. when i first ventured onto the forums over at body buddies i got pulled into this and its just plain stupid, both parties walk away looking like an ass. now if we ever have a big meet and greet i say we find a boxing gym with a ring we can use, and let the people with problems duke it out

My thoughts..not a good idea. Here's why... This is completely unrelated to BBing, but still is related to forums online.. I brew my own beer, and post frequently on a few different beer related sites. One of them has no real forum structure..no sub forums, no categories..just all lumped together. Might sound confusing, but I can always find whatever thread I was looking for albeit through searching or subscribing to thread. Anyway, after a few people got rowdy and disrespectful, the owner decided to create a PUI foum.. PUI is Posting Under the Influence, whereas you could post whatever and not get any BS for your feelings and opinions on something, sober or drunk as hell..Political, Religious, Gov't issues, etc..all fell under that umbrella..

This went well for a few months, but eventually led to people using outside means to respond back to those who they disagreed with..think Facebook, MySpace, private emails, public functions with usernames on t-shirts with insults. Yeah, really immature BS being done by mostly 30+ "mature" men with a common interest. The PUI forum no longer exists, due to the extremely personal nature of the threads and attacks. Anyone who breaks the rules now is immediatly banned, no reprieves.

Now I've only been here for a few months, but I like it. I don't have people giving me sh!t for wanting to try something, or ask a question. I get what I'm looking for, answers and more importantly constructive criticism to keep me in check.... My post count and reputation at the other BB site was growing, and fast until I came here. I still post over there, as there are some people I know that have not come to MAB, and that's cool too.

I guess after that rant, I'm saying if you open a door with no rules, there's no way to control what is said, and how personal it can get. Where would you draw that line? I'd like to see a level of respect is kept here for all users, noobs like me, and full out near pros/monsters like the sponsored athletes..

And also, I come here because no other forum is cool enough to have this : ---->
